Tried to be pretty original. I'm making this 0.9 since theres room for improvement (I just need fresh eyes to tell me where and how).

Criticism ENCOURAGED.


Only one font cos its a pain in the ass to do, I'll do it in the final release. Thanks in advance!

Hi Emm,

Great vs, very stylish.........only a couple of little niggles

1. Because of the compact start panel, the words 'turn off computer' get abbreviated to 'turn off compute' maybe the easiest option is to change this to just 'turn off' this would get rid of the problem and also match the 'log off' button.

2. After saying all of the above, any chance of a full start panel version?

Once again thanks for a great vs, am using the blue version now.

Speak to you soon.

bishy.

I'd hit that if it were for Vista.

I am also getting the letter r cut off for Turn Off Computer. It may be because you don't have quite enough space in your start panel settings. A related issue is that the start panel's arrows for the Icons in the Places menu are a bit close to the icons themselves, in some cases they are touching the icons.

Another issue is what happens to the taskbar buttons when you have two or more of the same windows open. See the attached image for what I mean.

Looks good here; the "r" in "Turn off Computer" isn't cut off. I think others have suggested everything I could think of over at dA.

Nice work again. thumbs_up.gif
